Inside the house Kagome was sitting on one of the mats. Inuyasha never lets me help! It's like he doesn't trust me. He did say he didn't want to see another woman die, but just because I want to help doesn't mean I'm going to die! She stood up. I'm not useless. What if they get hurt? I'm the authority in modern day medicines!
"Hey Kagome, get a mat ready for Inuyasha he's pretty battered up." Yelled Miroku as all three entered the house.
"Oh my god! What happened?" cried Kagome as she rushed over and ignoring Miroku's demand for a mat.
Sango and Miroku put Inuyasha on the mat Kagome had been sitting on before they went into the detailed story of how Inuyasha got hurt.
"Is he going to be okay?" she said as she bent over to look into his face which was pale.
"Yes, just watch over him please Kagome." Miroku said and as Kagome quickly nodded Sango and Miroku hurried outside.
I can't believe he's so hurt. I wish it was me. She thought as she silently started to cry.
One tear drop landed on Inuyasha's brow, What's so wet? Is it raining? Why are my eyes closed? He opened his eyes and looked at the crying Kagome. He was sore all over and his head was pounding. "Ka-Kagome?" he managed to say before he blacked out.
He was in a field.
Where am I? It seems so familiar. Sitting on grass by a tree was a black haired girl. Is that Kagome? As he walked closer the person became clearer. When he was directly in front of the girl he could tell that she hadn't realized he was there, and she still didn't. She was taller then Kagome and she looked older. She looks so familiar who is she? Then it came to him and he whispered her name, "Kikyo" The girl didn't appear to have heard anyone so he repeated the name a little louder. "Kikyo. Kikyo is that you?" This time she seemed to have heard and she faced him. It is Kikyo. But Kikyo is dead, does that mean I am too?
"Inuyasha I knew you would find me." She said sweetly.
He smiled and then his face dropped slightly as he thought about being dead. That mean's I'll never see Kagome again.
He looks so peaceful, Kagome thought. Maybe if I call him he'll hear me. She called his name softly, no reply, she raised her voice to a higher decibel, "Inuyasha." This time his brow furrowed, "Kikyo." He said.
She leaned back and looked up to the rafters on the ceiling. She was heartbroken, I make sure nothing else happens to him, and all he can think about is her!
As she started to cry Inuyasha opened his eyes. "Kagome? Kagome! Oh I'm not dead!" he cried then his brow furrowed , "Why the heck are you crying?"
As he sat up she turned and glared, "Because all you think about is her!" and with that she stormed out of house.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha called. He ran after her and hurried out to the lawn, he looked around himself but it was now foggy and misty. "Kagome, come back!" He yelled again.
"Inuyasha, why are you yelling?" asked a tired little Shippo from the doorway.
Inuyasha turned around, "Go back to bed you little twerp, this doesn't concern you!" he growled.
Shippo rolled his eyes then went back inside muttering, "Inuyasha is a big stupid jerk. It does concern me…he woke me up"
"I heard that." Inuyasha said causing Shippo to bound into the house. "It makes no sense why you didn't wake up from all the racket!" he growled at the empty doorway.
Instead of making him pay by hanging him upside down, Inuyasha went back to his searching for Kagome. He put his nose to the ground and sniffed to find the direction she had gone in.
Down by the river Kagome was sitting by the bank; with a flower in one hand and she was plucking the petals off. "He loves me, he loves Kikyo." She kept going back and forth until she came to the last petal. "He loves…" She threw it down on the ground then got up and began to walk towards the trees nearby.
The trees grew pretty densely in that area, and she was too scared to go in. Then she heard a voice, "Help me! Heeeeeeelp!" it cried. Kagome took the bow and an arrow off her back and headed into the trees.
Miroku looked at Sango as he listened to Shippo tell his story.
Sango had just gotten up, but she looked like she had been awake for hours. "Sango you look great!" said Miroku with admiration.
Sango smiled, "Why thank you Miroku."
"Ahem" coughed Shippo, "My story…"
Sango looked at Shippo, "Oh yes, can you please get to the point."
Shippo rolled his eyes, he thought it was a great story and anyone who had ears should listen. "Ok the point is Kagome is missing and Inuyasha has gone to look for her." Shippo said in one breath.
"Ok, then we must go find them." Said Miroku. "Sango, we'll take Kirara, right?" he asked.
"Well, of course. It's much easier then walking especially when we can't smell them out." She replied.
Shippo looked from one person to the other. "You seem to be forgetting I am also a demon. I can smell them out." He said proudly.
Sango laughed, "You are a little Kitsune, your smelling isn't up to Inuyasha's." She said softly.
Shippo sighed, "Oh all right your right."
Miroku who had been silent for a time looked up. "Kagome will probably have headed for the bone eaters well, so let's start there." He said logically. "If her and Inuyasha got into another one of the arguments she'll most likely want to go home."
Shippo rolled his eyes "Inuyasha always has to make Kagome go home!" he said angrily and Sango nodded then all three went outside.
Inuyasha had caught Kagome's scent long ago and now he was walking normally. He still didn't know why she had run off, but he knew it was his fault. "Kagome, will you come back and tell me what I did?" he said to himself.
As he walked past the well, he heard a crackling of leaves. He jumped around but saw no one. "Hello?" he called. "Ok" he growled, "Who's out there? Show yourself!" Out of the trees walked a figure.
"Kagome?" he whispered."Kikyo" he whispered in the same breath, as the figure came closer. "No" he shook his head, "Your not real." He told the figure.
"Oh I'm not?" she laughed. "I swear that I am."
Inuyasha looked again, but it was Kikyo. "B-but you fell off that cliff." He said.
"Yes I did, but I survived as you can see." She replied.
Inuyasha stared dumbly. "A-are you sure your real?" he asked, but instead of waiting for her to reply he ran up and hugged her. She sure feels real, he said to himself as their lips met.
